Winwin2011, are you aware of the countable/uncountable distinction?

Hi, birdeen's call. You are so nice.

Yes. They are both countable and uncountable nouns.

5jj said that they are all possible now. However, I wonder if they have different meanings e.g. Don't eat too much chocolate and Don't eat too many chocolates

"Too much chocolate" doesn't give the hearer any idea of what kind of chocolate might be consumed. It could be pieces from a large bar, it could be a whole bar, it could be individual little chcolates from a box. "Too many chocolates" only implies individual chocolates from a box.
